Ratings and reviews

This book was a godsend for me. I really found the examples to be helpful. Rules without example on how to apply them are useless. I find myself stressing less and my daughter is understanding and internalizing consequences instead of having a constant power struggle. Our relationship is becoming better daily and I'm enjoying being a mom again. Thank you Henry Cloud and John Townsend!

All knowledge that came in time and enlightend me, I hope i can follow through.

life changing!
